#337 - Dion - Born To Be With You

A lush and richly produced pop album with a voice that reminds me of Chris de Burgh sometimes. There's a hint of country in several songs, but not nearly enough to call them country songs. There's a big instrumentation in all of the songs, filled with strings and winds. The songs themselves are nice and pleasing, without leaving a bigger impact though.

#336 - Emmylou Harris - Pieces Of The Sky

A dreamy country album with 10 unimpressive but nicely flowing songs with a soothing voice. Not bad per se, but there's just not that much in it musically, something that all country albums I heard here so far have in common.

#335 - Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run

A piano heavy rock album with several very nice melodical songs. They all have the typical Springsteen sound and a nice yearning atmosphere. Good album.

#334 - Burning Spear - Marcus Garvey

A solid reggae album without any highlights. Grooves by nice and easy.

#333 - David Bowie - Young Americans

The sound of this album is as steamy and turgid as the picture implies. It's not that all the songs and harmonies are bad, but the everpresent saxophone and the overall slightly funky sound make it hard to endure from start to finish. Includes an unnecessary "Across the universe" cover and the known "Fame", a song that could easily be used as music for sex movies.
